The Spotlight Initiative (SI) is a  \nglobal, multi-year partnership between the European Union and United Nations agencies to eliminate all forms of violence against women and girls.  \nIn Jamaica, the Government, local civil society organizations, the United Nations and the European Union all work together on the Spotlight Initiative to address gender-based violence in the family. In particular, Spotlight Jamaica focusses on reducing family violence against women and girls and improving women and girls’ access to essential, safe and adequate services which respond to this violence.  \nParenting support has an important role to play in preventing violence. Through parenting support, we can help parents identify and utilize those parenting  \npractices which can help improve family relationships, effectively manage anger and conflicts and thus eliminate or reduce acts of family violence.  \nFAMILY FOCUS FACILITATOR  \nAs a FAMILY FOCUS Facilitator, you will have the exceptional opportunity to contribute to the reduction of violence against women and girls by leading small group discussions in your communities. These discussion groups will engage parents in sharing and learning about positive parenting practices, healthy family relationships and how gender-based violence can harm families. You will play a role in getting adults to strengthen their relationships with their children and with each other, and if applicable, begin a process of reducing, and eventually stopping the use of violent words and  \nNote: When we use the term ‘parent’ we mean anyone who plays a primary caregiving role in a child’s life.  \nFamily Focus-A Discussion Guide For Facilitators: Volume 1-3  \nactions within the family. You will play a role in enabling girls and boys to grow up in violence-free homes and communities as you will help parents build their knowledge and skills in effective, genderresponsive parenting.  \nDISCUSSION GUIDE  \nThe FAMILY FOCUS Discussion Guide is designed to encourage parents and family members to recognize their strengths and work on areas they wish to make better as a family. The selected sessions in the FAMILY FOCUS Discussion Guide are a direct outcome of suggestions from parents who participated in the Formative Research conducted in 2020. It is designed to be a guide for group discussions with parents and caregivers. Facilitators can be creative and make adaptations for use in different settings or for targeted parent groups, as long as the stated objectives are met. It is divided into two 15-Session modules:  \n• Module 1 comprises the core sessions required for a basic ‘course’ covering the issues of Family Gender-Based Violence, and positive parenting practices.  \n• Module 2 has complementary sessions  \nwhich can add to/strengthen specific sessions in Module 1, or be used by facilitators or civil society organizations (CSOs) who want to extend their offerings to the community.  \nSESSIONS  \nEach session is carefully structured, beginning with two or three objectives which the session should achieve. These are followed by a few key messages, which are the main idea","cbCaittYGF8TP4NI","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaittYGF8TP4NI","pdf",23828703,84,"English","# Facilitators Welcome\n## Spotlight Initiative Context\n## Purpose of Parenting Support\n# Discussion Guide Structure\n## Session Objectives and Key Messages\n## Activities, Questions, and Summary Points\n## Research Insights and Home Practice\n# Facilitator’s Manual\n## Engaging Parents and Handling Sensitive Questions\n## Monitoring and Evaluation and Referral Support","[{\"question\":\"What is the purpose of the FAMILY FOCUS Discussion Guide Volume 1?\",\"answer\":\"It is designed to help parents and family members recognize strengths and improve areas they want to develop as a family through guided group discussions.\"},{\"question\":\"How are sessions structured in the discussion guide?\",\"answer\":\"Each session starts with two or three objectives, followed by key messages, a beginning activity with suggested discussion questions, likely discussion points for summarizing, research-supported facts, and at least one home-practice skill.\"},{\"question\":\"Why is the “Do No Harm Principle” emphasized for facilitators?\",\"answer\":\"Family gender-based violence is described as a very sensitive topic; facilitators are instructed to avoid exposing parents and children to additional risks and to refer to the Facilitator’s Manual for guidance.\"}]","Family Focus - Volume 1 - Facilitator Discussion Guide | PDF",1792710976,212]
